From Citysearch: Katz's Deli (corner of Ludlow and East Houston) is frequented by regulars who've been coming for decades, as well as tourists and neighborhood newbies; occasionally, you might catch a glimpse of a celebrity. Since its establishment in the 1880s, the deli has changed very little in appearance. Grab a ticket on the way in for counter service, or seat yourself at a table to be waited on. Katz's still makes about 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs a week—the old-fashioned way, on the premises—and it shows in the massive portions the deli serves. Excellent pastrami is a big draw, as is the deli's Reuben sandwich. Donation courtesy of Katz's Allan (P.S. 110 '58). Expires 3/6/12.
